This is a guidebook to that inner wilderness. Buddhist meditation teacher Bodhipaksa shows us how we can use simple meditation practices to realize the potential of our minds and hearts, freeing ourselves from restrictive habits and fears. Using this natural method of working with our minds and emotions, we can learn to benefit others, and ourselves, by developing a more loving heart and a calmer mind.
